Civil engineering leads the development of sustainable construction and the major engineering projects of the future for cities, countries, and the world. To this end, it integrates knowledge related to the diagnosis, planning, analysis, design, construction, rehabilitation, and decision-making of a wide variety of infrastructure and building projects, supported by the use of information technologies.
Civil engineering, as an academic discipline, aims to provide the knowledge and skills required by professionals whose responsibilities include consulting, analysis, planning, design, calculation, project management, direction, construction, management, maintenance, upkeep, and operation of the infrastructure required by modern society, while taking into account the necessary requirements to ensure that these do not interfere with the desired sustainable development.
Future students must have a solid scientific foundation. Engineering training always requires solid knowledge of mathematics, physics, and technical drawing. As professionals, they should not limit themselves to repetitively applying learned methods, which quickly become obsolete. Instead, they must be able to find new solutions to new problems. This requires scientific reasoning and a capacity for ongoing training.
It is a profession that serves society, contributing to its development. It is primarily dedicated to the design, construction, and operation of projects such as bridges, dams, roads, communications routes, ports, airports, and so on. It primarily operates in construction companies, engineering and architecture consultancies, construction materials and quality control companies, energy production companies, and service maintenance and operation companies.
It has a strong organizational component that finds its application primarily in the management of urban environments, and frequently in rural areas; not only in relation to construction, but also to the maintenance, control, and operation of buildings, as well as the planning of human life in the environment designed from this perspective. This includes territorial organization plans such as disaster prevention, traffic and transportation control, water resource management, public services, waste treatment, and all those activities that guarantee the well-being of the people who live on the civil works constructed and operated by engineers.
The profession is also freely practiced, including construction management and inspection, quality control of materials, studies and projects, management of public works machinery and construction materials, appraisals, risk prevention, and more.
